We performed a comparison between Kong Gateway Enterprise and Oracle API Platform Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Protocol transformation is the most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise."
"Kong enterprise has significantly enhanced our ability to manage and secure our Microservices. Its most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The tool's scalability is good...The solution's technical support is good."
"Kong Enterprise has excellent plugin support."
"The route limiting feature is very valuable."
"In our buying companies' perspective, it was easier to use compared to other platforms. The markets were pretty familiar with the solutions."
"The solution provides good performance."
"The tool's feature that I find most beneficial is rate limiting. In our usage, especially in the financial sector, we prioritize limiting API usage. This is crucial because we provide APIs to other companies and must ensure they adhere to their allocated usage limits. Without rate limiting, there's a risk of excessive usage, which could result in significant costs."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"Kong is meant for north-south communications, so it will be interesting to see what solutions they can come up with in the realms of east-west communications, service-to-service communications, and Zero Trust architecture. I believe that if they can provide for these areas, then they will be able to solve the overall integration and security concerns for microservices architecture in general."
"Kong Enterprise can improve the customization to be able to do the integration properly."
"Kong Enterprise needs to improve its pricing, which starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pricing should be based on API usage rather than monthly. It should improve its documentation as well."
"We are facing issues with the solution's features like reports and traffic analysis."
"Understanding the configurations and knowing what needs to be done can be a bit difficult initially."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There should be an easier way to integrate with other solutions, even though it's the same API solution layer. Comparability will be a good improvement."
"Because it is open-source, it should be less expensive than others."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
